Happy New Moon! The most magical moment is 4:23pm PST today (December 2nd) when Moon Conjuncts Sun precisely at 11degrees Sagittarius. It is time to set intentions that honor the highest light of our inner Archer, the archetype of seeker, explorer, vision-quester, and traveler. Sagittarius is Service to Spirit through devotion to the intuitive pursuit of TRUTH. Nothing matters more than absolute truth. Books, blackboards, news reports, and dogmatic belief systems have little to do with it. Fiery Sagittarius summits the mountain to get a better view of All That Is. There are many, many paths to the peak and purpose is much more significant than technique.

It is also the time to set intentions of purging the perceptions and belief systems that have seduced us into Sagittarius shadow. This demon is best demonstrated by the fundamentalists and fearful keepers of training-wheel traditions that limit our direct connection to Spirit. Those who tell us we cannot change the world have chosen the only path that does not lead to the peak. They'll run around the mountain's base yelling, "that's impossible!" to we who have chosen to climb. When we establish camp, we can construct an elevator for them. Even the so-called 1% will be welcome, for above the clouds, it will become absolutely clear that we are all one. The truth we seek will prove the intentional landslides they create are exactly what motivates and strengthens us to summit the mountain. Their poisons only help our medicine grow.

When we unplug ourselves from the control mechanism by focusing our energy on our lives instead of on the fairytale traps of the television and toys, we awaken to the obstacles that have limited our direct connection to Spirit. Sometimes, Seeking is NOT believing the bullshit. When we uneducate ourselves to release the lies that have confused us, we purge perceptions that have hidden in our shadow and open our minds and hearts to truths that will help us embrace our birthright as divine creators. My general rule of thumb has become, “Any subject I’m told is nonsense only tin-foil-hatters would believe in is worthy of my investigation.” Clearing the clutter of manipulated memory banks gives us the gift of direct communication with our intuitive heart and summons the stream of synchronicity we can follow to our truest selves. When we honor our truth, believing IS Seeking.

My practice for these intention-setting rituals is “state clearly, summon, surrender, stay tuned to the subtleties, and trust Spirit will do the rest." The Moon’s movements will guide our success. This week’s Sagittarius intentions, will be tested by tensions from the waters of Pisces vision, and empathic oneness. They will then be illuminated by trickster Gemini who also seeks truth, but intellectually and while engaging in social celebration of eternal youth. Integration of our intentions will be unwrapped by the archetype of Libra who is balance, diplomacy, and practitioner of pure partnership. Won't that be a pretty Christmas present? Perhaps we'll see we can talk to the trees instead of just decorating them.

What conditioning of consciousness, dissemination of disinformation, treachery of tradition traps, and mainstream media manipulations can you release this month to honor the TRUTH of your inner Archer? It’s time to notch some arrows and aim for the peak of a truer you. See you at target practice!
